Chemistry

Answer:

Hiya there!

Explanation:

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.

For example, uranium can fission to yield strontium and krypton. Fusion joins atomic nuclei together. The element formed has more neutrons or more protons than that of the starting material. For example, hydrogen and hydrogen can fuse to form helium.

In a 100 g sample of iron(III) oxide, how many grams of iron are present?
e-lub [12.9K]
The formula of Iron(III) oxide is Fe2O3
In order to calculate the mass of iron in a given sample of iron(III) oxide, we must first know the mass percentage of iron in iron(III) oxide. This is calculated by:
[mass of iron in one mole of iron(III) oxide/ mass of one mole of iron(III) oxide] * 100 
= [(moles of iron * Mr of iron) / (moles of Iron * Mr of Iron + moles of Oxygen * Mr of Oxygen)] * 100
= [(2 * 56) / (2 * 56 + 3 * 16)] * 100
= (112 / 160) * 100
= 70%
Thus, in a 100g sample, the weight of iron will be:
100 * 70%
= 70 grams
